Whether it was AutoCAD, 3ds Max, or some other program, people would come to her with questions. Little did she know that this reputation would drive her career and uncover a hidden passion in life several years later. Now, she doing the same thing, but in a much more fulfilling way. One might think that someone in a technology role is hidden behind their monitors, delving into software programs all day. The truth is far different from that. Her day-to-day work involves helping others, connecting people, improving workflows, and using the technology that she knows and loves to create an environment of comfort, efficiency, and inspiration.
